Review Summary

2016-04-15T17:09:38

Rated 5 out of 5

I have been very happy with the image quality, balance, and weight.

Not being familiar with the Kowa brand, I read reviews from Allbinos.com and compared 3 other well-reviewed 8X32 binoculars. All are good brands, but the Kowa was slightly better, and the magnesium alloy body was the deciding factor. I have been very happy with the image quality, balance, and weight.

Not being familiar with the Kowa brand, I read reviews from Allbinos.com and compared 3 other well-reviewed 8X32 binoculars.

Advance Optical Performance in Compact Body
These binoculars offer a high optical performance comprising bright & clear images, high resolution and high contrast. They are easy to use and perfect for outdoor observation. The high quality models satisfy the requirement from beginners to experienced user with depictions of faithfully reproduced scenes of the outdoors. Their lightweight & compact bodies do not tire users even after long periods of use.

C3 Coating
Kowa's roof prism binoculars use a Schmidt-Pechan prism. One surface of the Pechan prism does not provide total reflection, so a highly reflective C3 coating has been applied. This allows for higher reflectivity than with silver or optically enhanced aluminum which offers a 99% or higher reflectance across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm). This not only provides bright and sharp images but also accurate color reproduction.

All Surface Multicoating
Multi-coated Optical System provides precise color definition for a brighter and sharper image.

Waterproof surface filled with WP dry nitrogen gas
The housing is waterproof and filled with nitrogen gas which prevents internal fogging.

Twist-Up Eyecup
Twist-up multi-step eyecups allow easy viewing even when wearing eyeglasses.

Lightweight & Compact size realized using an Inner Focus System
The focusing utilizes the easy-to-use center focus system. Additionally, the adoption of an inner focus system has made it possible to realize lighter weights and more compact sizes.

Allows Mounting on Tripod Adapter
Mounting the binoculars on a tripod reduces the burden placed on your body and enables comfortable observation even over long periods.

Prominar XD lenses attain the highest pinnacle of binocular performance
2 XD-lenses are utilized in the objective end of the binocular. This significantly reduces chromatic aberration and provides high contrast in the field of view.

Ultra close focus of BD32XD-Prominar of just 1.5m
Decades of optical innovation, development and technology has resulted in a binocular with an ultra close focus of 1.5m. Ideal for observation of plants, insects and other close range subjects

Enables Observation, Imaging and Image Sharing to be Easily Enjoyed through Combined Use with a Smartphone
Combining the BD56/42/32-XD Series binoculars with the photo adapters for smartphones allows you to more easily enjoy the observation, imaging and sharing of captured images using your smartphone.

Fully Multi-coated Optics
All lenses and prisms are fully multi-coated, ensuring a clear visual range and sharp images.

Kowa's "KR Coating"
Kowa's "KR Coating" is applied to the eyepiece and objective lenses. Due to the coating's dirt-resistant properties, these binoculars are easy to maintain.
